5 Strategies for Converged Infrastructure Efficiency

Imagine buying a new sports car with the intent to drive it only one day per year. The driver would either have to be wastefully wealthy or insane, right? When you acquire something of value like that, you want to take it out, let it run, enjoy it put it to the full use you envisioned before the purchase. You want to use it, but not abuse it. Wherever the line is between those two states, you want to live just a bit on the side of prudence. That’s the way to get the most value from your investment. The same holds true for converged IT infrastructure. When an organization pays thousands upon thousands of dollars for IT processing capabilities, it makes intuitive sense that management would want to be shared compute, network and storage resources running on just this side of abuse.
